Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm returning this in my view: data = {'val1' : 'this is x', 'val2' : True} return HttpResponse(data) I want to use this information in the dictionary within my javascript. Kind of like this: function(data) { if (data["val2"]) { //success alert(data["val1"]); } } However my javascript doesn't work. There is no alert popping up and I know that the dictionary has the information when it leaves my python view. How can I read this information in my JS? Ok so the answer for the view is to simplejson.dumps(data). Now when I do an alert(data) in my JS on my template I get {'val1' : 'this is x', 'val2' : True} . Now how can I manage the 2nd part of the question which is read out the values like function(data) { if (data["val2"]) { //success alert(data["val1"]); } } UPDATE: The simplejson.dumps(data) converts th dictionary into string. So in the javascript you need to convert the string to an object. THis is the easiest but apparently unsafe way. var myObject = eval('(' + myJSONtext + ')');
